[QUOTE="AtomRat, post: 209351, member: 3111"] Glad your ok after the near miss Lefty. I've had a few close calls but no injuries yet from anything, though I've had to help mates out a few times. One bloke was digging under a huge granite boulder which dropped onto half of his body and his nose and mouth just out of the water. Needed to lever it off with a branch so he could climb out and he had a few bad scratches and some bruising from the crush, but ok in general. I'm not a fan of surgery in sensitive spots. I copped damage in my right ear when a feedback speaker shot high decibels into it while my boss was tuning the equaliser. Its never been the same since and have about 48% hearing in it since my early 20s. Never really caused an issue except for needing someone to repeat at times but I try to keep the conversation on my good ear side. Oh.. and the fact that I get severe pain diving underwater and in airplanes now...but I wouldn't want no surgery there even if I had 0 percent hearing. I know some sign language so I'm already up one step there lol Hope your recovery has been fast and it must have been some knock mate and happy your still here to tell the story. Go kick that rocks ass when you go back digging :lol: [/QUOTE]
